BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a suppository packaging device comprising a package and a suppository arranged in a chamber of the package, such as, for example, a rectal suppository.

2. Description of Related Art

Suppositories are dry; inserting them without a lubricant is difficult. The anus may be irritated. One therefore often uses creams, which are not suitable for this purpose (fragrances etc.) and are not always available.

Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide an improved suppository package with suppositories that can be inserted more easily.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The exemplary embodiments will be described in the following figures:

FIG. 1 is a suppository package in which the suppository (1) and the lubricant (2) are both stored in the same chamber.

FIG. 2 is a suppository package in which the suppository (1) and the lubricant (2) are stored in different chamber of the package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
